Bug Description

xterm now build-depends on libutempter-dev, and hasn't built since January as a result of the dep-wait. So we need libutempter promoted to main.

http://bugs.debian.org/566113 looks like it'd break libutempter completely, and http://bugs.debian.org/573015 is an easy fix to make it more policy compliant.

Bryce, is this an optional build dependency? This is a fairly new package, and we might postpone it until 10.10?

OK, I think it's better to revert that change and keep the structure that we have in lucid.

xterm (255-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Rename the build directory to not include DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE for no
    good reason. Thanks, Colin Watson!
  * Add build-dep on libxkbfile-dev for XkbBell(3).

    + correct logic used to switch to alternate screen using FIFO-lines
      configuration (closes: #565772)

      (closes: #562640)
